Genus Anthomyia Meigen (Diptera, Anthomyiidae) in New Guinea
The New Guinean fauna of Anthomyiidae was never considered before. It is represented by the genus Anthomyia. Previous data on the New Guinean Anthomyia are discussed. A. acklandi sp. nov. from highlands (above 3300 m a. s. l.) of New Guinea is described.

Multimodal floral cues resembling both generalized food sources and oviposition sites in Isotrema manshuriense (Aristolochiaceae) pollinated by flies. [PDF]
The protogynous flowers of Isotrema manshuriense exhibit multimodal cues, resembling both generalized food sources and fly oviposition sites, with these cues varying across sexual phases. Abstract The genus Aristolochia is renowned for its kettle‐like trap flowers that temporarily retain visiting insects, primarily using trapping trichomes.

Overabundant populations of large wild herbivores disrupt plant-pollinator networks in a Mediterranean ecosystem. [PDF]
Plant–pollinator network diversity, complexity, and structure decrease in scenarios of large herbivore overabundance, but network robustness will be unaffected if dominant plants are not palatable. Abstract Large herbivores are keystone species, so changes in their population abundance can have cascading effects on ecosystems.

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

S-Methyl-l-Cysteine Sulfoxide: A Hidden Layer of Defences Against Herbivorous Insects in Brassicaceae. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Plants defend themselves against herbivorous insects through diverse morphological and biochemical traits. Non‐protein amino acids (NPAAs) are an important component of the plant metabolome, although their defensive function remains largely unexplored.
